those look very much like obama's december offer to john boehner which john boehner just couldn't get the votes for. remember boehner had a fall back plan that was less ambitious. he couldn't get the votes for that. now he said this discussion is over. what do we conclude? obama made a good offer. he reiterated last night and said we already cut a trillion and a half out of appropriated spending and some revenue out of the fiska will cliff deal and have a ways yet to go. let's have a balanced course as we work this out. the republicans have said we are not talking and the reality is the republican caucus is so extreme that they couldn't get the votes for a deal if they had one. >> thank you so much very much. the president is heading out of your home state on his first stop after the state of the union. let me get back to the panel here. i want to play what marco rubio had to say in the gop response prior to the water drink. prior or after. i don't know if anything matters. you take that sip of water and what he said about his personal story. >> this ideal is personal. my parents emig
